At long last, the much-alluded-to founders fic. I'll be posting the parts of this over the next week or so, once I finish editing each piece. I estimate it will be about 5-7 parts in all

I think Godric really embodies the two sayings "Curiosity killed the cat" and "Cats have nine lives." Well, if you multiply nine by a thousand. Though curiosity isn't his only motivation here, even if he's not entirely conscious of that.
Fortunately the training rooms tend to be well-shielded out of necessity. (Necessity being that both Godric and Salazar use them fairly often.) I am, however, endlessly amused that Rowena's response to her fear of Godric ruining her work on the stairs results in him practicing highly destructive battle magic elsewhere in the castle.
About how old would Godric actually be here anyway?
Well shielded, yes, but capable of withstanding the combined power of Godric's magical growth spurt and the destructive repertoire of Morass?
For some reason I'm not at all surprised at Rowena's reaction. It's more surprising that Helga didn't immediately object. (Then again maybe that is considered the standard remedy?)
Godric's twenty in this story. Helga, on the other end of the spectrum, is thirty-two.
If the shields fail during this training session, Morass is Hogwarts' next line of defense. (Not particularly comforting, I know.)
Standard procedure when this sort of thing happens to Godric is to let him tune his control on his own (with Salazar on hand, in case things get out of control) or under the careful supervision of his mentor. It's not something Rowena has patience for when she could be playing with charms for the stairs. And Helga was desperately curious to know the contents of that letter, so the instant Godric was out of earshot, she demanded the details. Otherwise, you're right, she probably would have tried to include Godric somehow.
I just hope Morass doesn't get so excited about his new toy that he forgets to take precautions to protect the castle.

No, not comforting at all, but ah, the irony!
